The frame concept then can be extended to the pacification of the masses via a variety of means over these past 50 years...
created and presented to the "people" and for their own good... (from over the counter drugs to TV to the water supply...)
but in the end instill a virtually sterilized world view, a defeatist "nothing will change" mentality... and enough quarters for the juke boxes and playstations to keep humming.
IDK about you, but in my mind the case was solved... we needn't name the cogs, the spokes or the rim...
it is enough to KNOW AND UNDERSTAND that a military coup d'etat occurred on 11/22/63 in the grand ole US of A... because we are still at a place where WE THE PEOPLE cannot admit such an event is even possible let alone having actually happened... the "solving" of this puzzle, the clarifying of the picture in the frame comprises an examination into the depth of human existence and depravity. The rest of the world sees and understands these forces -
Some humans saw and took advantage of many other humans for their own justifiable ends... same song, different dance partner... to be surprised that "survival of the fittest" extends to all things in all manners, especially to the people with the means looking for a motive... is to disregard the history of human beings.

"The American system is the most ingenious system of control in world history. With a country so rich in natural resources, talent, and labor power the system can afford to distribute just enough to just enough people to limit discontent to a troublesome minority. It is a country so powerful, so big, so pleasing to so many of its citizens that it can afford to give freedom of dissent to the small number who are not pleased. How wise to turn the fear and anger of the majority toward a class of criminals bred - by economic inequity - faster than they can be put away, deflecting attention from the huge thefts of national resources carried out within the law by men in executive offices."

The American people, since World War II, or
World War I, or the Spanish American War -- take your choice -- have witnessed
the tip of many criminal icebergs. The official investigations of the criminal
icebergs almost always stopped at the waterline. The other 90 percent of the
criminal icebergs were never hauled onto the beach for complete examination,
prosecution and correction.

The criminal cases of 1980 to the present are
in perfect harmony with this honored tradition. This is, of course, why
Americans are the most profoundly ignorant people on planet earth. The illusion
of knowledge is far worse than knowing you don't know.
